    The Mendip Mauler 22 March 2015 ** New Sportive warning **

    'twas a grand day out. Several highlights although the route (mis)leading by Tarloone was the gift that kept giving :-) Made it home in time to lie around and watch the last 2 hours of MSR whilst enjoying a glass of beer (or two) and the odd snooze, champion!

    I think the climb out of Wookey is a 20% one but not too long. Cheddar gorge has a 20% apex but soon drops off. My bottom gear of 39/28 will be perfect :-) Adam's legs will be well and truly fec ked...so he only has himself to blame as he picked the route..hehehe.

    Retro if you have it but not sure what gearing you have. You may struggle with a 44/23 bottom gear!

    Re: Can we go for a 9.30 start? It is some distance to travel and I don't want to wake my wife up early for cycling 2 days in a row at the w/e :facepalm: I figure we aren't in any hurry to get going as the only deadline is to be in the cafe for lunch (and the service better be bloody snappy...

    Re: For some reason, I have been regularly checking the Events page wondering why this ride wasn't posted up yet...and lo and behold (to continue the shepherd theme) here the page is! OK, I am up for this. Like Bugloss, I will be riding over big lumps in Wales on Saturday and had been...
